takedown

I just know that somebody is going to email me Tom Friedman's column in the Times about how the Bush administration's priorities are fucked up. So before any of you hippies get any bright ideas, read PowerLine's point-by-point takedown (with links, cos that's how fact-checking works).

Friedman, I think, really knows his stuff when it comes to international reporting, and in particular as regards the mideast. I've long thought, however, and as the post reinforces, that the dude has his mustached head up his arse when it comes to domestic politics.
